SA business,
simplified.
Invoice your customers, reconcile your bank, run payroll on the current SARS tax tables, track stock and your sales pipeline, and get your VAT201 worked out and ready to upload — the whole business in one place that speaks rands and VAT out of the box.
Twenty-three modules, one ledger
Everything posts to the same double-entry ledger, so an invoice you send, a receipt you photograph and a payslip you approve all show up in the same trial balance. The badge on each card shows the plan it unlocks on.
Dashboard
Cash, receivables and revenue at a glance, with a cash-runway ring, the SARS deadline countdown and an insights card that flags issues with collections, cash and spending, worked out from your own figures.
Getting started → FreeInvoicing & Quotes
Ten document types from quote to credit note, multi-currency, payment links, recurring schedules and automated reminders.
Read the guide → FreeContacts
Customers, suppliers, employees and tax practitioners with credit limits, statements, aged debtors and a communication timeline.

Leads, a pipeline board and a weighted forecast. Price a deal line by line and send it as a quote your customer accepts online. Included, not a separate product.
Read the guide → StarterExpenses & Bills
Snap a receipt and let OCR fill the fields. Supplier bills, mileage at the SARS rate, per diem, petty cash and an approval queue.

Import CSV or OFX statements from nine SA banks, get suggested matches with a confidence score, and turn recurring transactions into bank rules.
Read the guide → BusinessInventory
Products and variants across multiple locations, batch tracking, stock takes, transfers and FIFO or weighted-average costing (LIFO too, for management figures only — IFRS for SMEs does not allow it in financial statements).
Read the guide → BusinessJob Cards
The workshop or field-service job: labour, parts and travel land on it, the customer signs on the screen, and it converts into an invoice.

Compare plans →Do the work once. The books keep themselves.
An invoice you send, the payment that clears it and the VAT return that declares it are one chain of entries in the same double-entry ledger — so the trial balance is right without anybody posting a journal.

Send a tax invoice in under a minute
A three-step wizard: pick the customer and terms, add the lines, review and send. Each line can be a product (quantity × unit price) or a service (hours × rate), with its own discount as a percentage or a rand amount, and its own VAT treatment.
- Ten document types: tax invoice, quote, sales order, pro-forma, deposit, credit and debit note, delivery note, purchase order, receipt
- Attach a PayFast or Yoco payment link on your own merchant account and let the payments inbox match the money back
- Send by email or WhatsApp, or copy a portal link for the customer
- Rename headings, hide columns and set numbering per document type in Invoice Settings
Reconcile the bank without the spreadsheet
Import the statement your bank gives you — CSV or OFX — map the columns once, and Ledgr suggests a match for each line with a confidence score. Accept the good ones in bulk and turn the recurring ones into rules.
- FNB, Standard Bank, ABSA, Nedbank, Capitec, Investec, TymeBank, Discovery Bank and African Bank
- Rules match on description patterns and post to the category you choose
- Receipts captured on your phone meet the bank line they belong to
- A reconciliation ring per account shows what is still unmatched
Payroll and SARS on the current tables
Capture an employee once and Ledgr works out PAYE across the seven 2026/27 brackets, applies the primary rebate, caps UIF at R177.12 a month each side and adds SDL at 1%. Approve the run and the EMP201 totals are ready.
- Payslips as PDF, sent by email or WhatsApp
- BCEA leave: 15 days annual, 30 days sick per three-year cycle, 3 days family responsibility
- EMP201 monthly, EMP501 twice a year, IRP5 certificates per employee
- VAT201 and IRP6 computed from the ledger you already posted to
Make it, move it, prove it
Accounting is the record of what happened. These two are where it happens — a recipe and the plan built from it on one side, a vehicle and a signature at the door on the other — and both post to the same ledger as every invoice you send.
A delivery note says what you meant to deliver
This says what happened. Who signed for it, the name they gave, photographs, the time on the driver's phone and the time it reached Ledgr — and how far from the stop the signature was taken, which is the figure that settles a dispute weeks later.
- Plan a trip, not a document — one vehicle, ordered stops, each pointing at a delivery note, an invoice, a collection against a purchase order or a return
- The distance from the stop is worked out here, from two coordinate pairs. It is the figure a dispute turns on, so the device is never allowed to supply it
- Proof is graded, never refused — a thin one is accepted and marked as thin, with a sentence saying what it establishes printed on the customer's copy
- Three of four pallets is recorded as three of four, against the lines. Where the lines disagree with the button the driver tapped, the lines win
- Licence discs, certificates of fitness, operator cards, licence codes and PrDPs, with a dashboard that answers "what expires in the next 30 days"
- Drivers work from a scoped link — no account, no seat, and no sight of what the load is worth. Withdraw it and every device holding it stops at once
The recipe, the plan built from it, and the buying that follows
A bill of materials goes as many levels deep as the product does and rolls up into what a unit actually costs — labour, overhead and outsourced operations included. Material planning then nets stock, orders and demand across a horizon and tells you what to start and what to buy, each with the date it has to start rather than the date it is needed.
- Multi-level recipes with versions and effective dates, so changing a formulation does not rewrite what past builds cost
- A recipe is approved before it is in force, and changing what a live one consumes needs approving again. Once it has been built from, it is archived rather than deleted
- Where-used answers the other question: given a component, every recipe that consumes it — run it before you discontinue a part or accept a price increase
- Every planned order is pegged back to the demand that caused it, so you can check a commitment before you make it
- Buy suggestions respect the supplier's minimum order and case size, because planning 30 of something sold in cases of 24 is a suggestion nobody can act on
- Release a work order and the route's yield is applied once, at release — so a job raised for 120 does not quietly become a job for 140
The local details are the whole job
Generic accounting software treats South Africa as an add-on. Ledgr starts there.
Statutory maths built in
7 PAYE brackets from 18% to 45%, the R17 820 primary rebate, UIF capped at R177.12 a month each side and SDL at 1% of remuneration.
Returns from your own ledger
Output and input VAT roll up into the VAT201 boxes. Payroll rolls up into EMP201 and EMP501. Nothing is retyped from a spreadsheet.
Mileage at the SARS rate
Log the trip, Ledgr calculates the claim at the prescribed rate and files it in the approval queue with the rest of the expense claims.
Scorecard tracking
Track all six elements and your current level. You enter the scores; beside them, Ledgr measures what your books hold — procurement spend recognised at each supplier's level, from your bills, and the skills levy from payroll.
Offline-first by design
Read every screen and capture the day's work on a local database, then sync when the power comes back. Every queued change carries an ID created on your device, so retrying it can never create a duplicate.
Consent and deletion, on record
Marketing consent recorded per contact and channel — who gave it, how and when — and deletion requests you can act on, each change written to an audit log with severity levels.
Start free, add what you need
Prices in rands per month. One price per business — transactions are never metered, and every module applies to every company you run rather than being charged again on each. Users and companies come as an allowance per plan, in packs if you outgrow it, never as a per-seat bill. Change plan whenever; the modules unlock immediately.

Running an accounting or bookkeeping practice? The Practice tier is free — your clients pay for their own books at the published price, and the more paying clients you carry the larger the share of their fees your practice earns. And several modules can be bought on their own as an add-on, without changing tier.
